Hi, hope you can help

One of my users has an error msg "Invalid ordinal" when trying to export the
results of a report from preview to Word. I thought about re-installing
Office, but we have XP and don't have admin rights to our own machines, so it
would mean logging a job with IT support (who are sooooooo helpful).

Any ideas/quick fixes

The error only occurs on one machine for any user on that machine.

Regards

Donna
 
Donna:

An "invalid ordinal" error is likely the result of a bad call into a dll.
This can occur if either your db has api calls that are not properly
fashioned (unlikely since other users are not reporting the same error,) or
if there is an problem with the local installation. You probably are going
to need to contact your IT people and have them do a re-install and also
make sure that they apply all of the most recent service releases to Office
Xp.
